My husband got addicted to snorting Oxycontin after a friend told him it was harmless fun. He did not do drugs for the first several years of our marriage, then was addicted to Oxycontin for about a year (daily). He quit, had 2 relapses in 1 year. He has been clean for 3 weeks and is in counceling. We go to church, he has a couple of great friends who are recovered as well. I am hoping for reassurance that there is hope and that people do recover. He is a wonderful and thoughful man, I love him with all of my heart. I just need to hear success stories. Thanks.

I don't know if this will help, I struggled with the addiction for a long time as well. i recently finally had to get on suboxone. It truly is a miracle drug. I am sober on it but need it to help me get past the withdrawals. I had been so scared to go get the help for such a long time, but finally took the step last week. It takes away all my cravings, well for the most part. If you need advice about anything, please let me know. It helps me personally a lot to help other people. I look at a lot of things that I thought may work, and found that this was the thing that would work the best for me.

I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
